Herring, with bravado.

Alright, I clicked. With the OP's join date and total number of posts, I calculate her at 65 posts per day. Her OP "style" of cryptic reference appeared mysterious, informed, self confident and nonchalant. Reading further, she appeared again, and referenced ... a roommate from Kazakhstan ... we have Anna's Doppelgänger!

A rational explanation. Great post, true or not, for those of us who aren't sure.

Can you imagine his agent watching them put him in for 30, but not giving him full games, just to change his status? Am I making something of nothing? PS ... I remember "we want 15".

Same game, the red headed wrecking machine fought Cashman, Vadnais AND Robert Gorden Orr, from Perry Sound, Ontario.

I am. I remember watching, on television, with my grandmother! Korab sneered all night. He pounded Yakushev, over and over. I remember the Red Army - Flyers game, too. Confused Soviets and a furious coaching staff.

What about a lottery, but only for the bottom three teams? 1/3, 1/3, 1/3? You'd have little reason to tank "every point, all season long" and no reason at all among the really bad. I guess you could have the 4 and 5 teams trying to tank to 3, but I don't see that as a season long commitment for a 33% shot. Just thinkin' out loud .... I believe that putting everyone in the lottery was designed to create a television event and not to maintain competitive balance. It made "securing 30" critical. Did it magnify tanking?

Anyone else see "Little Big Man"? Younger Bear was a contrary, or a brave who did / said everything backward .... What a film!

Arizona will garner three, or less, outside of our head to head games. Buffalo, six or more. Two regulation losses to the Yotes, for us, or it's hope for the magic ping pong ball. NHL speak, of course. One down.

I HATE my post, too!

To NS: My friend. I hope your roof is strong. I would expect nothing but anti-tank from you. Can you imagine pre game phone calls from the league to Buffalo and Arizona? "The whole world is watching." I have an image in my mind's eye of Darcy pouring himself a scotch, at 1 am on March 31, alone in his den at home. With his suit still on and his tie undone, he smiles wryly. Revenge is best served cold.

Forgive me for speaking NHL. Whatever your ethical person / Sabre fan stance is, we now find ourselves ten games away from a generational talent or a generational 1a talent. May your sons and daughters never endure the path we've traveled. Never again. I have resigned myself to the outcome we all know as horrific in light of what it's cost to be here. That is, we will be relying on probability distributions, sampling without replacement, and dumb luck all as the result of a 29th place finish. Arizona's got this and our only hope is giving ground head to head. Nothing short of Arizona taking 3 of 4, or 4 of 6, in our head to head games will keep them in front of us. I don't think Arizona at 2 of 4 or 3 of 5 is enough for Buffalo to avoid catching the Yotes. I've looked at the eight games outside of our head to head. If Arizona takes 3 points, I'll be very surprised. If it's not three, it'll be less. Buffalo, on the other hand, will pluck, grind, defy-Corsi, no-possession time itself to 6 points. Look at the schedule; Toronto, Columbus, Carolina, and Colorado are all lined up. If it's not 6, it'll be more. Arizona's three point lead is gone when I assess likely outcomes and gut feelings. I see Buffalo more likely to erase the deficit and pass Arizona outside of the head to heads. Splitting the series won't do. Arizona needs to win two, with at least one in regulation, during our head to head. Frankly, they may need to win two in regulation. Anybody see that happening?

Get the film to Irbe. Our goaltenders will be scoring shart-tricks!

Are the current Buffalo Sabres our version of "The Marshmallow Test"?

I could have written this word for word. I love hockey. I like the Lightning. The Sabres have been inside me since October, 1970.
